*gets back to her rightful place of reporting Transformers wanks*
This is actually not movie!wank, although I'll warn for visual spoilers in people's sigs and icons.

A few promotional shots from the upcoming Transformers cartoon series, "Transformers: Animated", were posted up a while back and a number of people reported dissatisfaction with the Teen Titans-esque designs. Apparently there was a showing of more images and a few clips at BotCon and it was generally deemed, if not Good, at least Half-Decent. The Allspark discusses.

The Phazer does not approve.

No. Sorry. Not interested in it being stylised. Saying goodbye to Transformers until Classics 2.

Anything closer to Armada sounds like my nightmare.

I've no interest in it. If I wanted that style, I'd watch Teen Titans and buy their toys instead of Transformers.

Phazer

Unfortunately for Phazer, people do not approve of him and his opinions. Insults fly and there's some sort of sidetrack about onions and their fandom. Things calm down until the fifth page, where Hollywood Hoist shows up to defend Phazer's honor.


I would say Phazer is one of only a handful of fans whose opinions I put any stock whatsoever in. He is always well-reasoned, knowledgeable, and, above all, consistent. That's more than I can say for many of his detractors, who flit about from one bandwagon to the next while spilling untold volumes of noise in every direction. I hope he'll end up liking a couple of the Animated figures, as they appeared to have toned down the extremeness a little, but I'll say they still don't stand chance against the upcoming Classics.

Ah, but the plot thickens, as Kalidor points out.

I find that statement, and this entire post highly dubious. Especially considering you're hiding behind an open proxy rather than using a legitimate IP address.

Feel free to come back with your true username, assuming it already hasn't been banned (as the open proxy has now been).

Interestingly enough, neither Hollywood Hoist nor The Phazer show up in that thread again.

I'd like to personally comment that The Phazer is obviously a bad person because he hates Mini-Cons. And Mini-Cons are love.
